About Us

So who are these people called FinancialPlus?

Well, we’re Kathy and Bruce Rogers. When it comes to loans, we’re your FinancialPlus! We’re a husband and wife team with heaps of experience and a great focus on our business of getting you a great loan.

So Bruce, how about saying a few kind words about Kathy.

Bruce on Kathy’s background

Kathy is just the perfect person to be a finance broker because she came from the other side – she was a loans manager for a big bank where she worked for 17 years! So it’s a bit like a player from your biggest rival sports team coming to play for you and bringing all their secrets with them! We’ve got a lot of inside information that makes a huge difference to what we can do for you as our client.

Kathy on Bruce’s role

Bruce is great with figures, comparisons, that sort of thing. He’s amazing at wading through all the research and background information, then comparing lenders based on that information and finding the right loans. That’s why we’ve become so good at what we do. We have very clear roles and areas of expertise. I’m the talker, listener, client and bank liaison specialist. Bruce is the analysis specialist. That’s the perfect combination to get great loans.

Bruce on his role

My role is to make Kathy look good. Seriously, I’m the processor, researcher, and strategist. I do all the loan assessments, seeing which lenders are going to accept any particular client’s application and presenting that to Kathy. It’s all over the place, my role! I’m good with the processes, Kathy’s good with people.

Kathy on Bruce’s role

He always lets me have the final say on what lender we go with. The research and notes will all be there and sometimes I’ll throw in my two cents worth. But generally the detail Bruce is able to bring to a loan search and the comparisons he provides, it’s very clear which way is best for our clients.

Bruce on Kathy’s role

Kathy meets people, that’s what she’s good at – talking to them, understanding their needs. Her primary role is keeping in touch with clients and lenders. I do all the backroom stuff.

Bruce on processes

We’re very detailed up front. We take a lot of time to make sure we completely understand the client’s position and what they hope to achieve before we go looking for an acceptable lending solution. If we don’t get everything absolutely right, it can let the client down, so we are almost compulsively meticulous.

Bruce on comparing lenders

We’ve got great software that allows us to do detailed lender comparisons based on their suitability for a particular client. We can compare all our lenders and their products. We can see all the fees and charges and the interest that’s paid over the life of the loan. We then look for the lender with the lowest fees and charges and then ask “Would this person be eligible for this loan? And, will it meet the requirements of this person?” We put in the time and effort because it’s worth it in the end, when we can say to a client “Great news, you got the loan!”

Kathy on business growth

The entire growth of FinancialPlus has been through referrals. From the very beginning we were all about making clients happy and keeping them happy. We decided to be different and really work hard for people. All referrals from happy clients. It doesn’t get any better than that and we like to think it says something about the way we work.
